It was a big recruiting win for [autotag]Ohio State[/autotag] head coach [autotag]Chris Holtmann[/autotag] when he lured [autotag]Seth Towns [/autotag] back to his home state after starring at Harvard.
Towns was expected to bring size, shooting ability, and solid defense to Harvard after being named the Ivy League Player of the Year in 2018. Unfortunately, a knee injury later that year and again in 2019 ended his seasons and led to him transferring to the Buckeyes.
He played 25 games, averaging more than 10 minutes but just 3.8 points and 2.2 rebounds per game, in 2020-21. However, another injury, this time to his back sidelined Towns again. Then in September of last year, he decided to step away from the game.
